$1.25 Billion Defective Hip Implant
We represented many families in Colorado who were harmed as a result of the Sultzer Inter-Op Hip and Knee defects. When a settlement was proposed that would have provided less than ½ of the value of the case, we appealed to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals to ensure that any settlement was fair and attorneys fees reduced to all people affected by the recall. In the federal litigation, In re Sulzer Hip Prosthesis and Knee Prosthesis Liability Litigation, MDL 1410, Beth Klein played a significant role in negotiating a revised settlement with Sulzer valued at more than $1 billion. Beth Klein served on the national discovery and settlement team in the Sulzer Inter-Op Hip and Knee Implant MDL. This case involved 27,000 people who had received hip implants that were contaminated with benzene containing motor oil. When a “defendant friendly” settlement was reached with a signing kickback, Beth and her team objected and appealed to the 8th Circuit. Through her team’s efforts, the settlement value was substantially increased to $1.2 Billion.
The Defendant had an insurance policy that included attorneys fees – known as a “Pac Man policy” – meaning that the more work insurance defense lawyers performed, the less insurance was available for the injured people. Beth and her team negotiated with Sulzer to stop the wasting of the available insurance and to issue shares to raise capital in phases so that a fully funded settlement could be achieved. Beth’s team insisted that all lawyers’ fees were reduced to 20% so that the people harmed, were helped.
